The PondHawks are literally THE band to watch in 2012, major label deal or no deal. The band's latest project 'The PondHawks Have Landed' is a classic album and anyone with an ear for great music will hear that factor is missing in the alternative rock genre these days.

Sweet Dreams In The Rain" -- WOW!  I love the mystery in the music and vocal performances. This song has some of the coolest guitar riffs and the keyboards, percussion and bass add so much color to the music.  The band exudes a Beatles-esque vibe that I haven't heard many bands today offering. This is a great song and you should check it out.

Another incredible song on ;The PondHawks Have Landed' is "Your Mind Is Hard To Find". The song is all about trying to understand a complicated person you're in a relationship with. The vocal harmonies take you on a real ride full of twists and turns and I'm actually sitting here trying to figure out how they actually harmonized all of those vocal spirals? This is freaking awesome!

Other notable tunes on this project include: Cliff Note, On The Phone With Thillerie, Weather Girl, Time Flies, and Fire Eyes.

Overall, 'The PondHawks Have Landed' is an amazing album project that anyone who appreciates bands like the Beatles will appreciate. I'd recommend you go check these guys out and show your support of this terrific band.

“The PondHawks Land in the 'Top 10 Regional 2011 Albums'.....As the local music columnist for the Times, a lot of regionally produced music visits my stereo each year, some bad, some good, some exceptional. What follows is my personal Top 10 of Chicagoland releases for 2011..
#7 THE PONDHAWKS HAVE LANDED/produced by Mario Novelli & Jorie Gracen (Riverpool Records)

The PondHawks have embraced the Liverpool pop sound and have created a tasty slab of original songs that while fresh, have a familiar feel. Infectious hooks, playful lyrics and spirited playing, nice male/female vocal harmonies, coupled with bright production and a vibrant approach, make "...Have Landed" an album sure to take up residence in your stereo. ”

"THE PONDHAWKS ARE LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF MOST NEW ARTISTS..." Tom Jasper KPOV 106.7 FM
"I received a copy of "The PondHawks Have Landed" and to say I was blown away would be an understatement. Thank you so much for creating this music. The amazing thing to me is the feeling of how badly this music was needed without being aware of it. It's been longer than I can remember since an album has so strongly resonated with me. When I get new music at KPOV, I listen to some and decide whether they should get airplay. Then I play the PondHawks right after and there is no comparison."
